What is going on with our world?! Why is education the least of the USA’s concerns?! They claim, but never do! This includes not just the top dogs who make financial cuts on education, but even the teachers who (not all, but one too many) sit back and just do the minimum, and the parents who put all the responsibilities onto teachers to raise their child! We need change! Our future deserves more! More importantly, our kids deserve better!
It’s hard not to compare the kids of today’s generation to my own, or years earlier! What’s disheartening is that the age difference is not drastic! And yet their knowledge is dangerously different. I’m sorry, I mean insufficient! Ever since I was 4 years old (not exaggerating), I’ve always known I wanted to become a teacher. I wanted to effect the lives of those around me the way my teachers had influenced me. They all taught me something for the better! Even if it meant pointing out my flaws! They all inspired me in one way or the other. In the end, they gave me their all. They gave me what I needed academically, spiritually, as well as emotionally.
People today either see the issues in school systems and turn their heads. OR they’re just so ignorant about it that they don’t care to change. I don’t know what it is and frankly, I don’t care what the excuse is. The words excuse and education SHOULD NEVER be paired together! That is especially when we are speaking about adults affecting the younger generation! Kids will always make excuses, but how sad is it that NOW, they don’t need to make them. The grownups already have! I’m angry, frustrated, and so many other things that words cannot describe!
